The Science Club Excursion.
Promptly at the hour appointed on Saturday morn, the Science Club appeared in force at the depot, and in a special car full to overflowing, departed in high spirits for Kansas City. A lively time was enjoyed on the way down, and the frequent I. C. U. and I go's were heard from many parts of the car.
On the arrival of the club in Kansas City it at once organized for business, and as the first point of interest to all proceeded to the large packing house of Plankington, Armour & Co., where they were very kindly received, and all the various workings of the house explained. The department was first shown where by the use of amonia the water is cooled to a very low temperature and used over a great part of the establishment to keep the temperature as low as possible. Following this the club were shown through the various stages of the preparation of beef, from the time the cattle are driven into the house till they come out, partly sealed in cans, partly in the form of dried beef, partly in the form of fertilizers, every part being consumed, even to the blood, which is dried and sold as a fertilizer.
Next in order was shown the similar methods for the preparation of hogs for food. They being almost altogether handled by machinery it is remarkable the number that can be slaughtered in a day, the capacity being about 20,000 hogs and 1,000 cattle.
In connection with the establishment is conducted tin and cooper shops, so that the establishment is in itself almost complete.
The department, however, which seemed to attract the most universal interest was for the manufacture of oleomargarine; and I think I may say that while all were doubtless prejudiced against it on going in, they came out convinced that oleomargarine as manufactured there is really superior to a great deal of genuine butter, and to all appearances and taste equal to any butter.
The above having occupied the entire morning, after dinner the new cable line attracted the attention of most of these students of science, and was "alone well worth the price of admission." Those having a taste for the civil engineering could admire the many parts of this skill, while the taste of the mechanically inclined was satisfied by the two splendid 250 horse power engines employed to run the cable.
At this point the club divided, part visiting bridges and water works, part taking in the medical college and soap factories. Thus was the entire day employed, and on returning a jolly crowd at night, all voted the excursion a success beyond most sanguine expectation, and every one to have had a delightful time, and furthermore decided that it was a good thing to be a member of the University Science Club.

House called to order at usual hour with fair attendance. The following program was creditably rended: Essay, Lucy Diffenbacher; declamation, Laura Rose. A dissertation upon the grading of schools, by M. L. Field, was followed by a general discussion. An essay by Miss Eddy, on the subject "How and when to begin work," was also vivaciously discussed. An improvised medley *finem dedit*.
Science Club.
The Science Club held their regular meeting on Friday, at the appointed time, the following program being rendered: The Theories of Flames, Prof. Nichols; Anaesthetics, Dr. T. H. Rockwell; Scientific News, Mr. Stimpson.
The paper of Dr. Rockwell deserves special mention, being accompanied by experiments of a very interesting nature, among others being successfully shown the beating of the heart and the respiration in the case of a cat while under the influence of chloroform.
The usual goodly number were in attendance, and were all enthusiastic in their praise of the success of the meeting. REPORTER.

VIEWS.
CARL HOFrMAN,
LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS
EDITOR VIEWS:—It has been rumored that the faculty intend changing our weekly holiday from Saturday to Monday. Now the faculty has some object in view in doing this, and this object probably is to promote the standard of scholarship. Will they succeed? At present almost all of the parties or dances gotten up by students come on Friday night. The bad effects are not felt on Monday. If a change were to be made the parties could not occur on either Saturday or Sunday, and they would have to come during school days. Sunday studying would probably be stopped, but is not Sunday work preferable to no work at all? In this pleasant Spring weather a student is prone to neglect or delay his work till the last minute. As there is not much else to be done on Sunday, the work is done then if at all. But Monday there will be other attractions, and I think that the student will come up with a happy "don't know," on Tuesday. There are good arguments in favor of the proposed change. It really increases the faculty's control over the students. It makes the student attend more strictly to work or become more adept in rendering excuses. The faculty will probably advance these arguments. If the students will submit quietly all will go well. The matter should be well discussed, in order that the "powers that be" may know the feeling of the students on the subject. R. E. HENRY.
Co-education.
It has long been a question of serious thought and consideration, and perhaps of doubt, whether our institution is a good place to educate our girls or not.
The question, of course, is not upon the fitness of our courses to their wants; for our plans of instruction embrace what they need, and nothing that they are not able to master; but whether outside influences are to be feared; whether the girls can be trusted to take care of themselves.
It is charged that it is too dangerous a thing to send them here without a guardian; that left to choose their own society and consult their own weak wisdom, they are led away, petted and spoiled, and fail to accomplish that for which they were sent, and that it has been a demonstrated fact that a "pretty girl" is very little improved intellectually, morally or socially, after spending a few years at our college.
In all our schools all over the land, the custom of keeping the sexes so strictly separated is fast disappearing, and we see more schools with both sexes enjoying the full social privileges of men and women.
This is a part of our education, a privilege which ought to be denied to none. To learn how to conduct ourselves in society is a learning which every man claiming to be educated ought to possess.
No objection therefore ought to be made to the college parties, little dances and the acceptance by any lady of the attention of a gentleman. But the ladies should have a care that such privileges are not carried too far. The ladies are always responsible for the state of society in a
community, and our University girls should see to it that our college society is such that no lady should be afraid to enter.
Does it Pay?
EDITOR VIEWS:—There certainly is a great deal of carelessness existing somewhere in the caring for the campus. Stock daily roams over it, destroying trees, and in bad weather tramping the sod into the ground. Somebody is shirking duty.
The legislature of Kansas has cost the people over 48,000 dollars in its last session. What did the money go for? What good did it do? A senator was elected; a temperance law passed, and some appropriations made; that was all. The question is, does it pay for the people to elect a legislature every two years, and pay large sums for their maintenance? The work of the session is invariably left to the last few days, when it is rushed through without due consideration. The members often have their own personal objects to gain, and consequently neglect the interests of their constituents. Look at the State legislature with careful scrutiny, and it will be found that its work could be done in much less time and at much less expense.
